Understand Your Exposure. Prepare With Confidence.

With UK CBAM taking effect from 1 January 2027, businesses importing affected goods need to understand their potential financial exposure and the information required to support their obligations.

Our UK CBAM Diagnostic Review provides a practical starting point.

Using your available import data, we'll help you understand your potential UK CBAM liability, identify gaps in the information you hold and consider what further evidence may be needed from your suppliers.

You'll also have the opportunity to discuss the findings with a ChamberCustoms specialist, who will explain what the results mean for your business and help you identify your next steps.

What's Included?

• Import Data Review – Assessment of available import data obtained from HMRC's Customs Declaration Service (CDS)

• Indicative Liability Assessment – An estimate of potential UK CBAM liability using available information and applicable assumptions

• Data & Evidence Gaps – Identification of missing information that may affect the accuracy of your calculations

• Import Data Guidance – Practical guidance on obtaining the information needed from HMRC

• Supplier Engagement Guidance – Advice on requesting relevant emissions and carbon pricing information from suppliers

• Carbon Price Relief Overview – Guidance on how Carbon Price Relief may apply and the supporting evidence that may be required

• One-to-One Specialist Review – A meeting with a ChamberCustoms CBAM specialist to explain the findings and answer your questions

• Practical Next Steps – Recommendations to help your business prepare for UK CBAM requirements

Who Is This Review For?

The Diagnostic Review is designed for UK businesses importing, or expecting to import, goods that may fall within UK CBAM scope.

It may be particularly useful if you:

• Are unsure of your potential UK CBAM financial exposure

• Want to understand how your existing import data can support liability forecasting

• Need guidance on obtaining emissions and carbon pricing information from suppliers

• Would like an initial assessment before deciding what ongoing support your business may require

You don't need to have all your supplier emissions information available before starting. Identifying what information is missing is part of the review.

How Does the Diagnostic Review Work?

1. Initial Discussion

Following your purchase, we'll arrange an initial discussion to explain the review, the information required and how to obtain your import data from HMRC.

2. Data Review & Indicative Assessment

You'll provide your available import information, which our team will review and use within specialist software to develop an indicative assessment of your potential UK CBAM exposure.

3. Findings Meeting

We'll arrange a one-to-one meeting to take you through the report, our findings, and explain any assumptions or information gaps and discuss what they may mean for your business.

4. Your Next Steps

We'll help you understand what additional information you may need, how to approach suppliers and the practical actions to consider as you prepare for UK CBAM.

What Will You Receive?

The review will provide an indicative assessment of your potential UK CBAM exposure, an explanation of the findings and practical recommendations for preparing your business.

The assessment is based on the import information available and the assumptions used. It is intended to support planning and preparation, rather than provide a definitive calculation of future UK CBAM liabilities.
